Happy Friday!

March 3, 2017

We sure had a busy week here in Kindergarten. Students got right back into the swing of things after being off for a week with vacation. I hope you all had a nice February break.

This week we read a lot of different Dr. Seuss books to celebrate his birthday on Thursday. We had quite a few guest readers in to read to us which was fun.

We finished our topic 8 in math this week. We will start with unit 9 next week which is on the teen numbers. You can practice writing them at home with your student. As a reminder on every math packet that goes home there is a homework piece. Some days we are able to get to it done, some days we are not able to do it in school so you can have your child complete it at home if you would like.  I will be reassessing students on addition facts this coming week, so keep practicing the flash cards at home. I will be assessing subtraction soon, so keep up the hard work with those also.

We started our persuasive writing this week. We are working on trying to persuade Mr. Marsh to buy me a new car. It was a lot of fun brainstorming different ideas!

Our Kindergarten Museum will take place April 11th. All are welcome to come. It is amazing the different artwork students produce. We look forward to seeing you there.

Today we had an electricity show from the Burlington Science Center. Mr. Musselman and Ms. Pavlicek taught us a lot about electricity. It was very interesting.

In backpacks today were the math Symphony screener reports. These are done three times a year on the iPad. They are used in part when deciding intervention groups.  Also in backpacks were two different fundraisers the school holds, Pennies for Patients and the candle fundraiser.
